The prescription slip with the chicken scratch you're holding may suggest otherwise, but let it be known that some doctors can actually write, and write well. You can thank the computer for the legibility, but the content comes from somewhere else.

In today's column we're featuring blogs written by doctors themselves. Doctors from all medical disciplines are blogging about their areas of expertise, their thoughts on popular health news items, as well as those appearing in medical journals, and anything else that tickles their fancy.

You may be a little more knowledgeable before the next visit to your doctor after your first visit to one of these web sites.

I am humbled to be included in the same article as Flea, Surgeonsblog, Neonatal Doc, and the Cheerful Oncologist.

Doctor Anonymous: Don't be fooled by the picture of McDreamy from the hit ABC medical drama "Grey's Anatomy." Just because actor Patrick Dempsey supposedly saved a life recently, that doesn't make him a real doctor. Sorry, ladies.

Doctor Anonymous reveals that the blogger is a physician and a blogoholic. Good thing for his readers, because he provides interesting perspective on a wide variety of health topics (and frequent off-topics, if you will) including children's health, Alzheimer's, medication, and the latest health headlines.

Well, I'm definitely out of my blog funk now, huh? Thanks so much to Dr. Manny and FoxNews.com for the plug. I really appreciate it. Welcome to those of you who have clicked on over from there. I invite you to my sidebar to check out my favorite posts. Thanks for stopping by....

Hi Dr. A. I work for Dr. Manny and was just about to send you a note to let you know that your blog was featured on the www.foxnews.com/health site, but I see you found out already. ;-)Can you send us a note through the contact form on Dr. Manny's personal site at www.askdrmanny.com ? Thanks, and again, great work on the site.

I read your blog last night after reading Dr. Manny's column on Fox News online. I really enjoy what you have to say. I hope that you keep it up. I really like the shout out to Dr. Manny today. None of the other blogs he listed have even mentioned his column.. Oh well.
